Longliner abandoned after fire off Chiapas
The 'Arkos 1' caught fire on Feb 21, 2025, during tuna fishing off the port of Chiapas with 25 crew members on board. The fire started in the fishing net and spread rapidly. The crew was forced to abandon ship in auxiliary boats. The Coast Guard ship "Nair" came to the rescue of the fishermen and disembarked them in Puerto Chiapas. They were treated by Naval Health personnel who confirmed that the men were in good health. Nothing was reported on the exact causes of the fire or the precise location of the incident. The ship later sank.
